RegEx help in Javascript?

I have a variable named "acct". I first want to remove any "-" characters
from it's value. After this I want to verify that we have only exactly 12
digits in the variable.
Unfortunately I'm pretty green as far as using RegEx.
/\d{12}/.test(acct); should do the second part, but how do I do the first?

Actually figured out what I needed:
f.Acct.value =
f.Acct.value.replace(/^(\d{4})-?(\d{4})-?(\d{4})$/,'$1$2$3');
BUT, now I need to go the other way...
Assuming that my variable acct contains "123456789012" what expression do I
use to get "1234-5678-9012"
???

yourVar = yourVar.replace(/-/g,"");

javascript within a javascriptHello,
I have a multi-frame page. The frames are named Frame_1, Frame_2 and
Frame_3.
Frame_1 has a drop down box. When a value is selected in this drop
down box, Frame_2 is updated using an asp file (as I have to read from
a back-end access database).
In turn in the asp file, I have a Body onload tag to execute a
javascript function within Frame_2. this function updates the contents
of Frame_3.
Till now this is working fine.
Here is the problem. Frame_3 has a form with a radio button. When a
radio button is selected, I want that a function be executed in
Frame_3.

Javascript and IE? Javascript and C#?While my question might be simple, the environment around it is
terribly messy and so I will try to keep this clear and simple by only
including the relevant code - however, as I will soon suggest, I worry
that the problem isnt in what would seem to be the relevant code but
instead is lost somewhere in the do-and-donts of the peripheral code.
So at the end, i'll try to include all the affected code and you can
see if any of its actually relevant. I know there is a lot going on...
sorry, but I tried to write this clearly.
So here is what I imagine to be relevant. I'm working with a pa...

regex and JavascriptHi -
I've never tried using regular expressions with JS. Can someone help me
with a simple one?
I have a field that a user inputs that looks for an integer, or a some
integers with a decimal then does some calculations and converts it to
currency. Problem is, that if i have to recalculate, that field now has
a "$" in it which throws off calculations. I'd like to look at the
field and if there is a "$", strip it out, do the calculations, etc.
So, something like:
function getDollar() {
myAmount = window.document.form.amount.value;

regex in javascriptHi folks,
I'm trying to learn and understand regex in javascript for web form
validation. In trying to write a piece of script to validate an email
address I came up with the following:
function isEmail(input)
{
var re =/^\w([\.\-]\w)*@\w([\.\-]\w)+$/
if (!re.exec(input))
{
return false
}
}
This is then referred to as :
if (!isEmail(document.form.mailfrom.value))
{
alert("This does not look like an email address")
}
etc.
Unfortunately it bombs on absolutely everything. Can anyone suggest why?
As an aside, is there any trul...

JavaScript RegexDear JavaScripters:
I have not found quite the detail that I need for regexes. If
you have a URL to a good site, please post it. In particular, how do
I group subexpressions?
I wish to parse a string to see if it is a valid fixed-decimal
value.
I start with
/^
How do I check a set of characters optionally? I want to check
for a sign character. The string might start with "+" or "-", but if
it starts with neither, that is fine. Do I leave an empty choice in a
parens set? Is it then
([+-]|)
or
[+-]?
?
Then come...

JavascriptRecently, I have had the role of being the Javascript guru at work.
You know, one peeve I have about COLA is that it seems too oriented
around client applications, when the the majority of the world is about
Web applications.
We talk about OO -- but javascript has always been there.
As has DOM, and DHTML.
A web developer is a fully OO programmer.

OK. I've answered my own question but that begs a new one. (Eudora strips

This is a question about defensive web browsing. Ocassionally I

I would like to turn off JavaScript only for that page (instead of

to do this through a "bookmarkable" JavaScript snippet using the

of this?
